My Turn

Trinny has bobble heads and castles in clouds.  Linny has diamond lakes and toboggans.  Kt Mac has...ummm...she's kinda disappeared.  And I have star shaped islands and pigs heads.

On Saturday we picked some friends up (that sounds so much easier than it was, give me a bike in Amsterdam any day over a car) and headed out into the countryside.  Our destination was Lindenhoff in Baambrugge, a little village with a farm that sells it's produce along with produce from the area.  We'd found out about it when we went to a foodie event and the lure of more cheese sampling lead us out there.

We wandered about the shop, munching on the cheese and fig bread (there was an incredible cheese that was covered in grass, grass I tell you!) and looking at all the freshly grown goodies.  

Andrew was drawn into the butchery to gaze upon the flesh.  He ended up in a conversation with Remco (sounds strangely like a car parts company I know) and at one stage turned around to see our friendly butcher cradling a quarter of a pig like a teddy bear.  Those butchers, they're strange they are, although very friendly (or are they just eyeing off my rump?).  Remco then cut us some pig, we bought some bits and pieces, had a meander about the farm and then headed to Naarden.

Naarden is a Spanish star fort.  If you look at the picture I'm pretty sure you can tell why it's called a star fort.  Although I am still trying to figure out the Spanish bit. 

 We munched on farm bread and brie, sitting in the sunshine by the moat and then headed home.  With a stop at the kringloop of course.  No day is complete without a little second hand shopping if at all possible.
